If you had the task of conducting interviews with people meeting one or more of the criteria listed below, what kind of questions would you ask them?
- People who have dropped their 9 to 5 or a high pay/high stress job in order to follow their passion.
- People who have started their own unique small business. I'm thinking along the lines of something progressive and sustainable.
- People who live unique lifestyles or combine their lifestyle with their job. For example, a person who turns a hobby into a profession.
- People who have beaten the odds to achieve something extraordinary.
- People who have taken risks in order to achieve their ideal lifestyle.
Thanks!

I'm generally a fairly confident guy. I write well. I can carry on an intelligent conversation. I'm a salesman by training. I acted on stage in high school. In college I could deliver (and enjoy) speeches of all sorts. I can even hold my own when interviewed for the newspaper or for a podcast. But when it comes to speaking on live radio, I'm a nervous wreck. What can I do to improve? [more inside]
